Practicing Reflection

Jessica B. ·
If your year started like mine, it left you reeling from a packed schedule and more on your plate than you thought you had. I came into 2021 with a peaceful mindset, having just taken the bulk of two weeks off, but somehow still felt a little blindsided when my first day back at work came around. I decided I needed to do something before I allowed my year to continue down this path. So this past weekend, I spent some time reflecting and planning and now I feel even more ready for whatever...

Celebrating (or at least dealing with) Failure

Jessica B. ·
Failure. Failure. Failure. Failure. Fail- Shoot - I said it so much that it lost it's meaning. And I think I'll keep it that way. Join me and Bob Bertsch for our first episode of SEASON TWO of Practicing Connection in a Complex World . In this episode, we discuss the idea of “celebrating failure.” While we know a healthy attitude towards failure can make us more innovative, failing still feels bad. How can we deal with those feelings and develop a practice helps us deal with failure? Listen...

Re: Where were you?

Scott Reed ·
A very thoughtful post. On the morning of 9/11/2001, I was in the air en route from Eugene, OR to Denver. Our plane was turned around and ordered to ground with the rest of the US air fleet. Once on the tarmac, the captain entered the cabin and read from a cockpit fax describing the event and that every airborne plane was considered a potential target. Passengers then all walked to the terminal and huddled around television monitors.

Where were you?

Karl Bradley ·
The day started out as any other. A pretty normal Tuesday in fact. Put my uniform on, drove through the front gate of the Air Force base where we were assigned, and got to work. After a few minutes, it was apparent this wasn't going to be just another Tuesday... In our military, readiness exercises happen all the time to prepare for events involving natural disasters and domestic/international threats. Awareness of these exercises occurs from internal communication and is posted at the base...

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Karl Bradley ·
On December 7 each year flags are flown at half-mast. This helps us remember a historic moment in our nation's history. We've recognized this day since Congress designated it as a national day of remembrance in 1994. It was December 7, 1941. The Japanese orchestrated a surprise attack on the U.S. at the Pearl Harbor Naval base in Hawaii. Soon after, we declared war on Japan and officially entered World War II. It was a Sunday morning and all was calm at Naval Station Pearl Harbor near...
